errr no and I wouldn't ask for 'pocket money' for **** like that.

I get free rent, free food and the bills paid so I have it pretty freaking great

Same, I find it strange how people actually expect to get paid for these things.

Nooo!

1) I like helping out.
2) We all live in the same house, it makes sense to split the chores.

Its taking the piss to ask for money, and I think shows a lack of respect. If my parents need help around the house i'm more than happy to do it for them, they've done more than is nessisery for me over the years.

No. Most of the cleaning my mum does. And I wouldn't get paid for cleaning the house or anything like that. My parents say we ALL live there together and so isn't just one persons responsibility so why should I get paid for it when they don't.
I get paid if I do the ironing though, as if not my dad would probably get it sent out.

I used to before I got a proper job, but only as an incentive for actually doing it (I used to get my pocket money on the condition that my room was tidy on a Friday). Pocket money fizzled out when I was about 13 but I still (and to this day still) get a monthly 'allowance' from my Dad of £25... Seems like nothing now but it was nice then and I still appreciate it! (It pays my gym bill!)

Nah. I do get an allowance though, but I just help out often anyhow. Although sometimes if it's something out of the ordinary, my mum will give me a fiver for cleaning out her car, that kinda thing.

In a sense they do i guess being as they let me live here rent free and pay for my food etc but they don't physically give me cash in hand.

No, they don't ask me to clean or do chores but I enjoy cleaning so I gladly clean. I always keep my own room clean, messy houses and rooms irritate me, especially when you're invited to someone's house and it's an absolute mess. I'm just a clean freak though!
